Default AIS Properties

Default AIS properties are shown in the following table:
Property Description
Locale Specify a locale for the top-level source and target folders.
Context URL Specify the URL of the parent page to which this asset belongs. This is used for the viewer in context mode. See Context URL for more details.
Comments Add comments, if needed.
Translation Memory For the target folder only, specify a translation memory.
Term Database For the target folder only, specify a terminology database.
File Type

Specify which file type to use (only available if there are multiple file type configurations for the appropriate file types). Alternatively, if you have selected a folder, you may specify a file type group.

  • For a file - If a file has a file type associated with it through the MIME type and the file type has at least one custom configuration defined, the File Type property will be shown. Users can select the configuration of their choice and this configuration will be used to parse the file.
  • For a folder - If there is at least one custom configuration for any of the file types defined in WorldServer, the File Type property will be available for folders. It will list all the configurations in the form of File Type Name: Config Name. If you have defined any file type groups associated with the MIME type and file type for this folder, you can select a file type group. If the value is a file type group, when WorldServer segments the asset, the file type group is searched for an entry that contains the MIME type of the source asset being filtered. If one is found, the file type and file type configuration in that entry are used. If not, the base file type and file type configuration for the MIME type are used.

Select the appropriate configuration, which will be inherited by all files in this folder. If a file type is compatible with the selected configuration, then the configuration will be used. Otherwise, the default configuration will be used.

For example, folder A contains files one.html and two.doc. The user sets HTML 4 File Type: My Config to the folder A. This configuration will be used to parse one.html, but will be ignored while parsing two.doc (which will be parsed using the default DOC file type configuration).

This feature was developed to control parsing rules for different files rather than for the same file across multiple locales. Because WorldServer caches parsing results and re-uses them for all the locales, multiple configuration will not take effect in this case. If separate parsing rules for multiple locales are required, contact WorldServer support.

Entry Form Specify which Entry Form to use for any assets under this path. Set up the Entry Form at Management > Administration > Customization.
Triggers Specify which triggers to activate.
Editing Specify which Click and Edit editor to use for the asset, either the Click and Edit 1.0 editor (more restrictive), or the WYSIWYG editor.
AIS Mask Select an AIS Mask, if you have defined one, to control what objects can be used for this asset. The objects you can mask must be of the following object type: AIS Properties, Publishing Objects, or Workflows.
Encoding Choose whether to use the default encoding declared in the locale or whether to override the encoding locally.
Access Control Specify which users and groups have read, write, and change permission to the folder. Note that write permission assumes read permission, and that change permission assumes read and write permissions.
For each property, a folder or asset has one of the following values:
  • No value
  • An inherited value (the default), which means that the folder or asset derives the value for that property from its hierarchical parent
  • An explicit value, which means the folder or asset has a different value than its hierarchical parent
